&lt;br /&gt;
    I have found two marriage indices in geneteka and I would like some advice on where to write or how to go about viewing the documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   the couples in question were both married in the parish of witowo in kujawsko-pomorskie&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
they are  wawrzyniec waszak  and Josefa kurtysiak   marriage index  1863 akt 27    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and his son&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
            Wincenty waszak    and Marianna lewandowska   marriage index  1888  akt 14&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
any information to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wincenty waszak came to America and settled in staten island , new York.&lt;br /&gt;
I have his census records and death record .  I am looking to find the polish connections in order to&lt;br /&gt;
make possible other connections with  waszak family members in the new York area.&lt;br /&gt;
Wincenty waszak had a family of at least twelve in new York,  and I have a josef waszak from a different branch&lt;br /&gt;
who had 15 children .  the parents of josef waszak were  jan waszak and franciszka zielinska,   they come from the same general area around Warszawa,   witowo, kolaczkowo, plowce .  I am trying to determine if wawrzyniec waszak and jan waszak could possibly have been brothers or cousins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
any help would be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
